Wed, 08 Dec 2010 20:39:31 +0000http://www.ananda.org/community/blog/?p=1968#comment-7305Thanks, Nabha, brought tears to my eyes. Maria’s services were always awesome in their simple, sincere, humble devotion–and good humor. Same for the Saturday Kriya classes she gave with Devarshi during many Spiritual Renewal Weeks. She spoke once or twice about the effects of her chemo and how she responded–very impressive. I loved her joy in life and in not taking herself too seriously (other than in her dedication to Guru). My favorite memory showed her perfect, light, deadpan impish Russian humor: at an Ananda event at Greens Restaurant in S.F., when I was new, I found myself sitting next to her and Devarshi. Dessert was served, chocolate mousse. I tend not to eat chocolate too much (I know, alien), and self-consciously mumbled something like “I’m not trying to be holier than thou…” Pause. She responded, “You’re not holier than me.” :D Master’s love surround you, Great Dear Soul!

Indeed, it is both joyful and sad; I can’t quite comprehend coming to the Sangha office and not seeing her smiling face, but I rejoice in her freedom in God!
